Based on one of those well-established animal animosities, the chicken versus the fox, Sly Fox is still one of the most original and bizarre games you'll play on your mobile. Our titular fox is, of course, dangling from a whizzing propeller for no particular reason, eying up the tasty chickens that litter the game's many levels.

Now here's a blast from the past. If you owned an Amiga back in the 90s, then there's a very good chance one of your favorite games from that era would have been either Pinball Dreams or Pinball Fantasies. Released for the iPhone last year, the latter's recently been tweaked to suit the larger screen of the iPad.

If you've become somewhat jaded due to the endless stream of match-three puzzlers, physics-platformers and endless-runners on the App Store, perhaps we can interest you in a game that challenges you to take a love-sick turtle armed with machine guns and rocket launchers, on a journey across an entire continent to hook up with his girlfriend. To do that, he's going to have to make his way through an awful lot of enemy territory.

It won't surprise anyone to see Kairosoft feature a couple of times in this round-up, but there are some other great games here that might not have caught your eye before. We can guarantee that each one of these games represents fantastic value for money and will consume as much of your life as you're willing to give them!

It's possible (very possible in fact) that you've exhausted every ounce of enthusiasm you might have for the kingdom-building genre. The arms race to bring the next big thing from Facebook to mobile due to the lucrative in-app purchase system has led to a flood of titles on mobiles and tablets.

Frankly, your exhaustion would be a shame in this case, because while Enchanted Realm may adhere to many of the standards established in the genre, it's also one of the most polished kingdom simulation titles we've seen yet.

Spy vs Spy for iPhone and iPad is a blast from the past. Based on the infamous MAD Magazine characters, you'll be hard pressed to find a gamer from the 80s who didn't get his or her hands on this frantic, embassy-looting game at one time or another. So, how does it play for those who never had the pleasure? Put simply, you race against the clock through a series of embassies, snatching objects like cash and passports. Once you've grabbed them all, you need to head towards the exit and escape by plane before the timer runs out.

Every now and then, a game comes along that consumes our free time entirely. New Star Soccer was such a game, with its incredibly moreish combination of arcade gaming and career simulation. Temple Run kept the Christmas family arguments at bay last year, and the next game to leave us transfixed like a rabbit in the headlights is Radiangames' Slydris.

Itchy trigger finger? If that’s the case, we rounded up some of the best shooters on the App Store for you to sink your thumbs into. From old classics to a few new titles, we've got more than enough shooting action to satisfy those arcade cravings.

At first glance, you might think Pocket Minions can’t stand out from the rest of the tower-building games on the App Store. There's the usual requirement to keep castle denizens happy with new and exciting stores, and make sure their basic needs are taken care of, but what sets the game apart from other titles such as Lil' Kingdom and Tiny Tower is that, rather than taking ownership of one ever-expanding castle, you grow a series of towers across a map, while also doing battle with dragons from time to time.

Like gifts that keep on giving, some of our favorite mobile games have been tweaked, updated, and stuffed full of content. That said, here are some of the best-supported games the App Store has ever seen.
